Question

Refer to your lab guide and review the data in Table B to complete each statement.

The mass of G1 + G2 after the collision is
kg.

The velocity of G1 + G2 after the collision is
m/s.

The momentum of the combined gliders after the collision is
kg · m/s.

Answer 1

I don't have Table B or the masses/velocity values. I can finish the three statements once you tell me either Table B or these numbers:

- mass of G1 (kg)
- mass of G2 (kg)
- measured velocity of G1+G2 after the collision (m/s)

How to compute them:
- mass of G1 + G2 = mass_G1 + mass_G2 (kg)
- velocity of G1 + G2 after collision = the measured post-collision velocity from Table B (m/s)
- momentum after collision = (mass_G1 + mass_G2) × velocity_after (kg·m/s)

Send the three numbers and I will calculate the answers (with appropriate significant figures).
